School of Agility Grit & Entrepreneurship

Most entrepreneurs are comfortable with the idea of launching their startups to address the needs of a local market without looking at the opportunities beyond their borders. The common approach is to develop a business based on a pressing domestic need and grow it locally, with the idea of expanding regionally or internationally once the company is sufficiently large and mature. While this is a low-risk approach, it is also growth limiting. This course will highlight the importance of having a global mindset in developing, building, and growing your business.

The course will help participants appreciate the benefit of having a global perspective in identifying and determining business opportunities, and the agility to go to market with speed and urgency. This also requires the ability to be interculturally competent in understanding the uniqueness of each market.
